These worms are the hortensis variety. They are larger that the fetidas and thus consume more, which I see as a benefit. I have a large family and, unfortunately, we create a noticeable amount of waste. Being able to indoor compost kitchen scraps and papers is a blessing. We are concerned about reducing our own carbon footprint.
It was not the type I intended to purchase, but did not realize until I got them home and they didn't look right. Apparently, the clitelum band is not as obvious on hortensis as it is on fetida.
